Is This British Humor?
I’ve been watching SKY TV lately and I’ve been struck by the similarity between American and British commercials - especially midday commercials for the out-of-work. It’s full of spots for lawyers, insurance companies, diet snacks, banks and easy loans. Sound familiar? Evenings, the commercials change tone a bit to add feminine wash, laundry products, department [...]

Catching up
Sorry for the veeerrrryyyy loooong absence of late, but it’s hard to get used to this WordPress format after using LifeType for so long and, to be honest, it’s been a little depressing to lose my whole blog. It’s a little like losing a good friend without warning - a friend you didn’t really appreciate [...]

The kids are in [...]

Happy (Belated) I(N)SD
I missed it. And I so wanted to be there for it. I planned to join a chat, or two, and post a freebie, or two… I’m sorry.
But it wasn’t because I forgot. I was sick all weekend (which drove the kids up the wall because they were dying to go to the Neustadtfest and [...]

"Take Flight" to Songbird Avenue

How To: Organize and Archive Digital Images
Now that you’ve purchased a digital camera and begun taking photos, you need to start thinking about how to store and organize those images.
My digital photos are getting out of hand. Four year’s worth now, and all in a jumble. I’d like to buy some software that will help manage all these files.” wrote [...]

Bear With Me, Please
I’ve been working like crazy recovering posts from cache files in my temporary folder and my eyes are literally crossing. It’s a seriously time-consuming project and I’m so grateful for the suggestion of one of the DST members to use Windows Live Writer for posting. Not only has it solved my image posting issues (WordPress [...]
